Most emails sent around the world these days are spam, i.e. undesirable messages with various offers or with hyperlinks to malware. Not only are such email messages annoying, but they also pose a threat to your own personal computer, not to mention that you may be duped. That is the reason why many mail service providers resort to email filters, which are software apps that ‘scan’ all inbound emails and filter out the unwanted ones based on their content – what words or phrases an email message includes and how often they are cited, what web site a certain link opens, what server the email is sent from, etc. Certain web hosts also make use of the databases of spam-tracking organizations devoted to providing the most up-to-the-minute information about unsolicited emails, to make sure that their clients will not receive any email message in their inbox that shouldn’t be there.

Spam Filters in Shared Hosting

If you order a shared hosting package from us and if you take advantage of our email services, you will be able to set up anti-spam protection for any of the mailboxes that you create from the Email Manager section of your Hepsia Control Panel. With only a few clicks, you can select between 5 separate levels of protection. In case you start getting spam, you can start with the lowest one and then slowly increase the level until you stop getting spam. We make use of one of the very best and most famous email filters out there called SpamAssassin. It ‘scans’ the header field and the body of each and every email that you receive and determines a spam score, based on which it either erases a certain message or permits it to enter your mailbox. The Hepsia Control Panel will also allow you to create custom email filters and either eliminate unasked-for emails or send them to a third-party email address such as spam@domain.com where you can read them once again later.

Spam Filters in Semi-dedicated Hosting

In case you take advantage of one of our Linux semi-dedicated packages, you won’t need to worry about spam messages clogging your mailboxes every once in a while, as you can take advantage of the famous SpamAssassin filter that we provide with every semi-dedicated server account. Our custom Hepsia hosting Control Panel will allow you to enable the filter for any email account with a few mouse clicks and you can choose any of the 5 levels of safety – from very high to very low. The level can be changed at any time if, for example, legitimate messages get blocked, or if junk emails go through and appear in your inbox. To be on the safe side, you can choose all filtered email messages to be re-sent to a special mailbox like spam@your-domain.com and not to be erased. Thus, you can go through them from time to time to make sure that you have not missed out on an authentic email message.
